It is fucking irritating though, why the fuck don't they send their kids to a local school and make them walk or bike. It's a massive pain in the arse for everyone, and it is damaging to the environment with all that unnecessary mileage when dickheads travel across town to drop their kids off.

My village is perhaps a mile across with the school at one end which has no through road, some lazy fuckers even drive their kids there on the way to work.

drop your kids off at half 8, get to work at 9.

Unfortunately for most people that's pretty difficult, especially when they're younger and they can't walk into work when they want to - like much of these boomers probably can.

Let's be honest here though - why do these people live near a school? Perhaps because when they had kids it was wonderful for them not to have to go far to get to the school, now their kids are grown up they just moan (with their most likely Parish council mates ;)) about other parents who probably would love closer to the school.

They also probably moved into the village in a wave of 70s/80s house building but now object to new houses being built.

I have noticed as well that this problem is much more worse in cities, but you hear much less complaints, whereas village types seem to go mad over it.

I remember as soon as I was old enough I walked over a mile down 1 road to get to my junior school, before that my mum walked us. The locals took turns to take each others kids on the walk to the school as well.

And today your parents would be referred for safeguarding purposes.

It's not the 1980s.

Sure, you can be upset about that, but being upset at parents trying to take their kids to school is beyond ridiculous.

Ultimate cunt boomers.

Not really. The location is a narrow cul-de-sac where lazy, yes, lazy parents can't be arsed to park away from. They all have to get right up to the gates to collect their children. Scenes like this are why School Streets are becoming a thing. All the householders here have done is bypassed the council.

Interestingly, if they want to avoid charges of obstructing the highway, they can simply walk along it at 0.1mph. As long as you're moving, you're not obstructing. This is why protesters who block access to new mines, fracking sites, etc, gather together and shuffle along.

> “My lad has special needs and needs to be picked up from the same spot every day otherwise he has a breakdown. I don’t block anyone’s drive. It needs sorting,” said one angry parent.

Absolute fucking bullshit. Your lad can be collected by you, and the pair of you can walk a few hundred yards to wherever else you can park your car. Do your job you lazy bastard.

Safeguarding? A ten year old can walk a mile to school.

i had to cycle to school when i went to senior school and junior school we always walked.

nothing has changed since the 80’s regarding kids legs and common sense.

Really? That's retarded.

I got the bus home from junior school. A few miles then a mile walk. Never any problems.

I think parents are such whiny terrified bitches nowadays.

Make them walk ffs. Gives them a little independence. It never did the vast majority of us any harm - in fact the opposite as it normalised walking to get from A to B. I'm not sure why it would now.

We're not talking about parents when it comes to picking up kids.

We're talking about the schools and what they've been told to do.

I think you forget we live in a time where everyone is a pedo.

Do an experiment - go pick up one of your relatives kids from a primary school.

You have to give so much advanced warning, you can't just turn up and say 'oh I'm so and so's uncle'.

We had a new bit added to the village not so long ago, a load of housing association builds. Really nice little houses, mostly young couples and single mums, really nice to see them walking to school in the morning. Then some dickhead 200 yards up the road trundling down to the school in his BMW because he can't spend the time with his own children walking through the village.

Dont think anyone is saying send uncle tom to get freddy. Its about actually getting there and the age when kids are safe to go out on their own.

these are kids who run feral all the hours in the school holidays but cant walk to school a mile from their front door,

So you're saying that a school wouldn't allow a kid to walk back with uncle tom, but they would let them walk home on their own? huh?

I think it's pretty unfair to say parents are lazy, considering we live in a different world today with lots of couples working compared to back then for example.

@Raven Next time you see BMW dickhead go to school, see if he goes home afterwards or to work.

I think that's why people raise less eyebrows in inner city schools, where there's less raised eyebrows - because it's poorer and parents do work 9-5 without much negotiation.

I have seen some pretty cool solutions to help the situation in lots of primary schools though.

You deal with the people blocking your drive, not this shit (as I had to do when we lived near a school). Its not a private road so they can fuck right off.

Yes there are entitled parents who think they can park where the fuck they like, and you sort them out in no uncertain terms.

NB. Isnt school over for the summer? It is here.

NB2. I've just looked at this road on Streetview and the school could actually fix the problem in about five minutes. There's space for an entrance/exit, and with a few cones the cars could drop off inside the school grounds, on a one in/one out basis.

I said a small kid with uncle tom.. but could walk to school with their parent or registered carer.

kids of a certain age could walk themselves.

or have a designated drop off area for the school where cars can park for a short time while the parent escorts them to the gate.

theres no more peado’s in this world today than there was in the 80’s its just media fueled paranoia.

and most of those that were in the 80’s seemed to get into positions of power, clergy, schools, scouts etc.

which this over Use of transport wouldnt solve anyway

Go count the number of vehicles outside the school, 20 minutes before chucking out time, with people sat in them on Facebook. At my local primary school it's usually around 10-15 cars, diesel, idling away. That number rises the closer to chucking out time it gets. Come the event, the road is impassible - it is utter chaos.

That simply never happened when I was in primary school. Practically everyone walked home with their friends or alone.

Weren't you just talking about how new housing estates are built for cars and not pedestrians, and I think you even made a comment how you wouldn't walk kids around new estates.

This.

But @Gwadien's response is "it's not the 1980's" like that's a reason.

We've gotten lazy, scared and gone backwards. A return to the 80's would be better.

And at 3:30 its not the 9-5 ers on their way back from work picking up the sprogs. Like you could argue for the ones dropping them off.

Modern housing estate design encourages driving and makes it more difficult to walk. That doesn't mean you must drive and cannot walk. It is part of the problem in that it does nothing to encourage lazy people to walk. It just gives them more reasons not to.

And no I didn't make a comment about walking kids around estates. I said that building estates that do nothing to enable walking and cycling is part of the reason why parents aren't willing to let them go explore on their own.

Honest to God, its like the fucking Yorkshiremen sketch around here. Since the 80s there has been a 250% increase in car ownership, so a. more people have cars to use, b. its more dangerous for kids to walk home.

In 1975, 74% of Primary pupils in England walked to school, now its 49%, but guess what else happened? Households with two people working went from 50% to 74%, an oddly symmetrical figure that is absolutely definitely a coincidence.

In addition , council provided school buses have declined by 60% since 1980.

For every yummy mummy in an X5 that goes off to pilates and fucking their personal trainer after dropping Jocasta and Tarquin off, there are five more who use their car because they have to. And before you (@Moriath) start bleating about the afternoons, check out the actual numbers because they will definitely be lower, with after school clubs and other child care solutions dealing with the afternoon shift.

In conclusion, blame the Tories.
